Upset World Challenges Some Ideas 01 Missions Relation of Races and Nations Affected by Recent Events; Hut Christianity’s Primary Message and Mission Remains Enchanted.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Even the scanners of headlines | know that there is “something doing" in the big Orient. China holds ’ the center of the world stage at the moment. All the news that comes out of Indian and Egypt and ‘ Syria and Palestine and Turkey | and Arabia and Iran implies a fer- : tnent of nationalism that is fatrly revolutionary. Assuredly, the old order is changing. The human race 1 welded into unwonted oneness by the world war, is in a ferment * without precedent." "Each breese that sweeps the ocean Bears tidings from afar. Os nations in commotion, Prepared for Zion's war." This is too grave an hour for ' platitudes. The complacent Chris-, tian who thinks that ali of this j upheaval signifies eagerness for the Christian religion, and that a few decades more of missionary meetings and of missionary gifts will briug about the conversion of the world, is due to have a sorry disillusionment. The huge enterprise of world gospelling is really facing its gravest crisis: a crisis not to be met by multiplied money and organization. Signs on the Horizon Expressed in a few terse phrases, the new conditions confronting Christianity are these: In some mission lauds, an extensive and anti-Christian movement is in actiare progress. Turkey has practically put an end to former types of mission work. Large blot's of educated Indians have weighed Christianity and rejected it. Islam, which in many respects is disintegrating, is at the same time witnessing a portentous puritan revival of its faith in Arabia, the homeland of the prophet. Modern progress in many eastern nations has made the continuance of missionary schools and medical work difficult or unnecessary. Westernized oriental governments are providing for their own medical and educational needs. Work amongst the ol<\ oriental churches is being given up by many missions, in favor of a fresh effort to evangelize Mohammedans and pagans. All of these altered conditions and others even graver, which touch the nature and form of the missionary message, call for a new. brave open-minded conference of the churches to face fully the facts of this uew day of missionary activity. The rank and file of Christians should lie freely admitted to an open discussion of the real problems which today confront missions. More than the cause needs money, at the moment, it needs understanding and great leadership The missionary message to the churches just now is not the Oliver Twist cry of “Morel" Steady Feet and Steady Hands Light-minded sentimentalists may readily grow panicky in the present situation of war and revolutions and of intolerant nationalism. Japan's mad outburst of paganism. the choking of Ethiopia s missions b- Italy's brutal imperialism: the repressive measures in newly awakened Iran, are all a tremendous setback to the Christian concern tor the service of other races. It is easy to mistake the needs for altered methods for a need for another message. Steady heads u lone can assure steady feet. Jesus commanded His disciples to go into all the world and disciple all nations. That is the changeless and adequate reason for missions, so loug as the church continue Christian. If Christ be what He said He is, then there is no alternative. He alone can save the nations and the people. AII of His followers are inescapably under the obligation to bring the world into the fellowship of discipleshlp Vast new methods may be necessary. Changing times may change procedures; there is nothing sac red about a method or a plan. But the one supreme obligation remains ********* **«•*•*** ♦The Sunday School Lesson for April 3 is "Serving Other Races.”—Mark 7:24-37. »*•»*** ** * *•»** * »*

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, MARCH 2f», 10M.

Jesus requires His followers to | share the flood News about Hlm- ; self with all the men in the whole i world who may by any means ho reached. The permanent core of , Christians missions is the command of Christ, and in the assurance of His continued presence and power. Only incidentally is the missionary enterprise a civilizing and social service and educational project; primarily, it is the Good News about Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Redeemer of Mankind. A Jolt From the Orient One of the dear delusions of the western world, cherished for centuries, is that wisdom and effici- | ency arc purely occidental char- ' act eristics. We have looked down ( upon the Orient. The awakening has been unpleasant as we have seen Japan outsell and outmauuever the western nations in all marts of trade, and have beheld the ghastly efficiency of her armed forces in the rape of China. Napoleon Is reported to have said, ‘There sleeps China. God pity us if she awakes. Let her sleep.' But the East s sleep is over; and a whole set of problems have been created for the world. As a renascent Orient confronts an alarmed Occident, we have one grouud of reassurance that its attitude will not be of ill will. That is the knowledge of the hundred years of service by Christianity to both Asia and Africa. These continents are dotted with schools and hospitals and orphanages and leper asylums built in a spirit of brotherly helpfulness by the churches of the West. Tens of thous ands of persons have been converted to Christianity, many of whom like Chiang Kai Shek, arc now in positions of leadership. This Christian leaven is an antidote, at least in part, for all the exploitations and oppressions and selfish imperialism of western nations in the Orient. It is evidence that the people of Christian lands have had good will toward all races. In the new world neighborhood the cross has stood for brotherhood. In the light of the vast ness of our unified world today, the smallness of the area to which Jesus confined His personal ministry seems incredible. Tyre, Sidon. Phonicia and the Decapolis marked the extreme borders of His travels. Before these words are read I will again have traversed them all by automobile, as a matter of only a few hours journey. One needs to go to the Holy Land to realize how little it really is. Yet within its borders today rages bloody racial and religious and nationalistic strife that sorely needs the healing touch of the Nazarene.
